Glory of the 80's (OUAS October 15th Challenge)

I had so much fun working on this layout! When you see the picture, you'll see that it was quite the challenge, searching for the right paper, the right layout, the right embellishments - hehehe I think it worked out pretty well.

The October 15th challenge at Once Upon a ...Sketch was perfect to scrapbook the infamous picture since the journalling criteria asked for a minimum of 2 sentences on an awkward or embarrassing moment that you will remember for all the wrong reasons or even an awkward or embarrassing characteristic or feature of yourself or someone you know. This sketch was featured as inspiration:

When my cousin showed me this picture of her family's trip to Walt Disney World back in the late 80's, we had quite a laugh over it! Most of us who have grown up in the 80's are sure to have some nasty fashion pics like this one hiding in their closets! I immediately asked her for a copy and her permission to someday use it on a layout. She was very curious as to what i would come up with. Well, with some flashy Imaginisce papers and flowers, lots of glitter and some bling, here it is Cyn! My homage to the Fluo Family! Hope your parents don't hold a grudge for too long! hehehe

Thank you OUAS for giving me the inspiration to finally put this picture to use! :-)
